About this Research Topic
Recognizing the future leaders in the study of Carbon-Based Materials is fundamental to safeguarding tomorrow's driving force in research and innovation.
Here we present the article collection ‘The Future of Carbon-Based Materials: An Early Career Scientists’ Perspective’.
This collection welcomes perspective and opinion article types from early career scientists that wish to share their opinion on the future of the Carbon-Based Materials field. Contributors to this collection are also encouraged to submit other article types if preferred to present advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems. We aim to highlight the perspective and research of the leading scientists of the future across the entire breadth of Carbon-Based Materials:
• Classic carbon materials, such as activated carbons, carbon black, graphite, carbon fibers and filaments, cokes and chars
• New carbon materials, such as graphene, graphene-oxide, templated carbons, carbon nanotubes, carbynes, fullerenes and diamond-like carbons
• Technological application of carbon-based materials in areas such as energy storage and conversion, catalysis, electronic and photonic devices, environmental protection, structural, thermal, and smart systems, and biology and medicine
While future innovations in Carbon-Based Materials are yet to be discovered, this Research Topic will give us a hint at what to expect.
